Teaching minds, touching hearts, transforming lives. Aside from the mastery of the subject being taught, developing a genuine bond between tutor and student, helping them apply or understand the gravity or importance of their study and why they should not take it for granted. In other words, helping them not only in the four corners of the…

I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

To be reliable, punctual and consistent. To be honest and upfront when answering questions and if I don't have an answer on the spot I'll do some research and get back to the student the next lesson with an answer. To establish a good rapport with the student and parents. I incorporate Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking into all of my…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. For example, I also guided one of my previous students through his year 12 year, helping him with the university admissions process and scholarship applications, where he is now studying…

In my experience there are parts of courses that a student can not or would not understand on their own, however through my assistance to understand road blocks in course content and as a result help resolve and navigate them to me is the most important aspect of the job. I can explain course content in a manner students would find engaging and…

The most important and dire activity an english tutor can do for his/her student is to give all the 'tools' to not only pass but excel in their selected and even not selected subject. This give the students tips and tricks that cross all boundaries, in reference to studies, and allows them to apply it whenever they desire. Being able to mould and…

The most important things an english tutor can do are grow to understand the student so they can best help them. I think that if the tutor understands a student, if they have a strong rapport then they can identify a student's weak and strong points and work to solidify their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses. Although I have no formal…

According to me, an english tutor must collaborate with his students to set realistic goals for them in the short as well as long term. Apart from that, a tutor should definitely empower students with effective study methods, time management strategies, and organizational techniques as it encourages them to develop independence in their learning…

Inside Newcastle EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Grace practised division and multiplication with timed tests, building speed and confidence.

For Year 10, Olivia reviewed shares and dividend yield calculations in Financial Maths before tackling lump sum repayment questions on loans.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan focused on the quadratic formula and methods for completing the square, working through exam-style problems to reinforce understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student relied heavily on formulas in financial maths, often "putting numbers in to get an answer" without understanding the context, which led to confusion when unfamiliar question types appeared.

In Year 9, another student's working out was disorganised and sometimes rushed—her tutor noted, "she rushes the questions a little bit and needs to slow down."

Meanwhile, a Year 10 learner lost confidence during challenging practice tests and skipped complex-looking algebra problems entirely. This avoidance left gaps in understanding that surfaced when she tried multi-step exam questions under time pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Newcastle East tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Danika, start identifying and asking about specific algebra questions she struggled with—something she hesitated to do earlier in the year.

A high school student, Liz, recently worked through HSC-level financial maths problems and was confident enough to explain her answers and even discuss alternative solutions with her tutor, showing much more initiative than before.

Meanwhile, Lara (Year 7) has begun tackling challenging topics like linear equations by applying new study techniques; last week, she completed a question independently for the first time after previously needing step-by-step support.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Gary has been a good personality fit with Myles. He has been gentle and encouraging and Myles is motivated to do more maths throughout the week where previously he was feeling it was all too hard.

Cassandra has told me that her new tutor DJ has an excellent teaching style. He shows her every step of a maths problem and encourages questions. DJ also goes to the effort of making up personalised worksheets for her based on her maths book. Thank you, DJ, the effort is appreciated.

Thanks for all your help with Griffin over the years. Its really made a difference to his grades.

English tutoring in Newcastle East

Unfortunately not every school teacher is a good match for every student. Often the student might develop the sense that they are not smart because they don't understand their teacher's approach, but often it's just a bad match. No teacher is a perfect teacher for every single student, especially students who might need a tailored approach. A private English tutor can help.

It's truly incredible the way in which one explanation creates that "aha" moment whereas another creates confusion. Our service is all about finding you the "right" tutor, not the "best" tutor. A local Newcastle East English tutor will not only connect well with your child but they will be able to offer explanations in such a manner that your child just "gets it". This is what we do.

English Tutor Newcastle East

Our offer is quite simple. We will find you an English tutor in Newcastle East. They will come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will come as often or as little as you decide. They will tailor the lessons to your child's specific needs. Best of all, if you think the tutor is not the "right" fit, we'll organise another tutor free of charge.

We want you to be a raving fan of your tutor. That's our Good-Fit guarantee.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Stockton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Newcastle Grammar Bolton Street Campus.
